The Resident-led Partnership manages the Big Local programme of events and projects in our area. The following residents were elected to the resident-led partnership at the annual general meeting on 7th July 2018

(Pat has since left the partnership due to relocation. Consequently we we are looking for new members who live in the area. Do get in touch if you would like to have a chat about joining us.)

Richard Street was elected as Chair in September 2018.

The resident-led partnership can have between 8 and 20 voting members elected from the Big Local Group. Elected members can be:

residents who live within the Big Local boundary (the majority of members);

supporters who work, shop and/or use facilities in the area; and

co-opted members selected for their specialist knowledge of the local area or a particular area of activity that will help the partnership deliver the action plan.

The resident-led partnership appoints its officers and can appoint sub-groups to help it carry out its responsibilities.
